A simple action shot with a bench my mother gave us that is in our side yard. My parents moved almost two years ago, and we ended up with several roomfuls of furniture that weren’t exactly our style. Yet in placing these pieces throughout - and around - our home, my fiancée and I discovered how beautiful they are. This bench is really quite lovely, surrounded by the lush growth of a very mild and wet spring. Diego loves walking over to it and patting his hands on it, but here he’s using it mostly to steady himself before another great burst of walking, which he has only been doing on his own for a little over a week!
